Levon Helm will be missed.
If you haven't already heard. Levon Helm of the Band is fixin' to leave. Last stages of terminal cancer. I'm listening to the Last Waltz tryin' not to bawl my eyes out.. Midnight Ramblin' man soon gone.

Love me some Levon and the Band. He was also great as Loretta Lynn's dad in Coal Miner's Daughter.

Aw man......That just sucks.

Remember when The Band played on Saturday Night Live back in the day?.......That was killer.

The Big C claims another one. Where does it end.............?

Damn, one of my favorites. I knew he had throat cancer a few years back. His rambling music studio I heard was a great venue. Sorry to hear this.

Here's his official site:

After losing a few relatives like this, I can only hope for a swift passing for Levon.

Sadly, he has now left, but his music will live. Thanks for the good times Levon.

Sad here too. I am listening to Electric Dirt's "When I Go Away." Someone over at AK posted the lyrics. That song lifted my spirits wrt Levon's death.
